# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Orchestrating Ōtautahi (Funded by Boost Ōtautahi)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 20 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Over the summer, Ōtautahi music legend, Henare 'H' Kaa (Dillastrate drum/vocals) has been mentoring ten promising student musicians, putting them through their paces in workshops and rehearsals, with one shared mission: to co-create original music.

Think waiata reo Māori meets Beethoven meets modern-day soundscape woven together into bold, moving anthems for the next generation.

Join us for a very special concert to witness what has been created and wrap a community of support around these rangatahi.

This kaupapa is all about creating meaningful pathways for young musicians, giving them access to fresh opportunities and new ways of writing and arranging music, blending traditional classical instruments with contemporary songwriting and production practices.

The new music, new knowledge, and new confidence of these rangatahi was made possible through Boost Ōtautahi crowdfunding. Public donations were matched via the Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi Boost Ōtautahi fund, supported by Rata Foundation, Creative New Zealand and Christchurch City Council.
